when I bout my vibrant i was debating between the slide and the vibrant well vibrant won that but i still want the genius button on the vibrant im guessing it just needs to be redeveloped to work with the bigger screen cause i got it on the vibrant BUT as we know it didnt work when i open it it does nothing any ideas cause this would be great if we could get it on the virbrant and working
Isn't the Genius Button sorta wired into the Tmo/Sense 2.1 UI they have running on the Slide?
I would try an awesome voice recognition program named vlingo. It's 9.99 in the market and does everything the genius button does and more. Only thing missing is a dedicated hardware button. It works great on my vibrant so far. I really liked the genius button on my slide, but vlingo does the trick. Just wish the vibrant had 2 more buttons on it, one for camera and one for voice recognition.
Long press your search button, it'll open up Vlingo search
Genius button = voice search
Just long press your search button.
My phone is just so...VIBRANT
VLINGO ROCKS
down with sense... but for real, vlingo works great on my vibrant
I definitely recommend Vlingo. It is one of those few apps that is absolutely worth the price.

Exactly. "Genius Button" is just a fancy shmancy marketing term that HTC uses in place of the Search button for Google. Apparently it's working since I've heard numerous people say they wish the Vibrant had a Genius Button.
Apparently there is a difference, as the Genius button allows you to say commands like text john doe. Tried it with the Vibrant and it just takes me to a web search of what I asked.

You can do this with Vlingo.
Yes, but not with the built in app as some people seem to think. There was a comparison of Genius button vs Vlingo and overall they liked Vlingo more. $10 though, which to some people is well worth it.
Theirs a Voice recognition app in the marketplace that's free to download called "Edwin" its not as perfect as the genius button but its capable of performing some of the same actions ... BTW its still being developed and there taking suggestions from the users to determine which direction they need to focus there developing

agreed that Edwin is pretty close to the Genius button. It will also define and spell words courtesy of dictionary.com .. You can say "sms hey whats up man" and it will type that in a text, then you click the contact you want... so its almost the genius button..
my experience with the genius button is that is lagged alot... it worked well and was a great feature.. but took too long to load often..
I also agree with Edwin being a great app. Plus the icon is cool too LOL

What you're holding is not an iPhone, friend.
So there is no way to change the function of the double tap on the key? Perhaps to something more useful as some probably have no use for the voice command system. Can anyone answer this? And yes I'm sure the op is aware that he or she does not hold an iPhone.
if this is a problem for you, an iphone is the better choice

maybe the iphone it is a better choice for the people who doesnt want to modify their OS and work with a fixed one instead of what their want in personal use.
long press for a ****ty multitask it is not the way to go, and with 3 keys 2 click on home is the faster way until we got a multitask like windows mobile 6.5 with taskfacade or something and a click on notification bar to use.

I whole-heartedly agree, and I actually have a hard time believing that your question was met with all those snarky comments from a forum dedicated to customizing the most customizable mobile OS on the planet.
I too would like to be able to change the default home double click behaviour. I'm sure it can be done, i just don't know how. Any ideas, people?

I'll give you a sensible response, as of yet, you can't change the double tap function on the S2. It may be customized in the future but so far you'll just have to live with the annoying voice control app.
I hope that helps
Thanks for the non-sarky response

I've seen an application called multitasking pro that supposedly opens with a double tap of the home button. But I guess it wouldn't work on S2 yet, huh?

Wow, way to be an ass. Never heard of Quick Desk?
All the multitasking of the iPhone from double tap, but with the option to add widgets as well?
If that's not one upping the iPhone at it's own game then I don't know what is.
I for one know I'd rather have a multi tasking app than a voice search I'll never use.
Anyway, the closest i've found is http://android.modaco.com/content/s...odaco-com/340047/take-control-of-home-button/ but this is only working on KE2 as of the moment.
Guys, what I'd like is a long hold on the BACK button to bring up the multi-task menu, this would feel like less of an effort than the long press on HOME.
Hello, I just found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149845
which comes from this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980835
And I wonder if would it be possible to implement something like this on our beloved optimus one?, since it would be really cool to use volume or power buttons to shoot the camera, or maybe it could be the search button IDK, but any of theese would be nicer and more comfortable than tapping the onscreen button to shoot.
Of course I'm just a basic user and not a developer so I have no clue how hard would it be to do it.
Well, if you are a developer and you would contribute to our community with a mod like this, THANK YOU!
I've mentioned it on another topic, way back, many months ago...
Suggested that the key that HAS to be used for camera, is search button !!
By far the most practical way!
No developers found since then....
;S that's a shame, maybe it is not possible or developers don't read general forum... at least they could reply with a "there's no way to do that" or something
And yes, search button would be the best option

If you want the search key to function like the camera button here's what I did.
1. CM7 Settings edit search key to open Camera.
2. In Camera press your menu settings and go advance.
3. Press Use Settings Button for camera.
and what about froyo ?
the volume buttons are too ahrd. even if this is implemented taking pictures will not be easy and there will be alot of blur.

Even the volume keys would be more comfy that pressing and releasing the onscreen button, but as it is stated before the best option is the search button.

LOVE my new EVO LTE (hardware) -- waiting on a couple software fixes for a few things.
i remember reading a thread where you could map an ICS android's dedicated camera button to voice search on soft-press. You know, the one-push of the button, instead of the holding-it-down which brings up the camera.
I love ICS but i HATE that google removed the dedicated search button!! I used that all the time. For everything...
anyway, i used the search and i simply can not locate that thread anywhere. Any help is appreciated.
This one?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671936
Its under Development. Hope this helps.
I agree with the search button comment... I just ended up adding a google search bar to the top of every panel like on the Nexus. I am starting to get used to tapping on it. But in apps, it does get occasionally frustrating-- though my love for the phone outweighs it dramatically
i agree, the phone itself is too awesome to get worked up over the search thing, but still... i miss it bordering on need it.
I'm glad to see someone is working on this, that is awesome, but that wasn't what i was looking for. it was in another phone's boards, it was done, and if i remember correctly, it only worked on ICS that had a dedicated hardware camera button. it wasn't a "remap any button you like hard or soft" thing...
i found this, which helps (and i did the same thing, put one on each homescreen ) voice-search button
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.companion.GVButton
--
still, it would be nice to have that button lower-right-side bring up the voice prompt! i had just gotten used to using voice-commands for everything only to have them take that away!
Dang, sorry that wasn't it.
I'm on exactly the same page. I was really enjoying using voice commands with ICS on my 3D with just a tap on the bottom, but now I just have to stretch my hand a tiny bit farther to get to that search bar [totally just realized a little while ago theres a mic on the bar for voice search too ].
But yes, here's to hoping someone cooks something up!
for remapping the list to menu, it's this thread here

So I find that Voice Search is no longer integrated into a button (long press). It also doesn't even have a damn button for it. I have to launch Google Search and THEN launch Voice Search. Please tell me there is an easier way to do this...I don't want another launcher at this time either.

I found an app that's a shortcut, called "GVS" in google play on my pc (didn't see it on th e mobile version of google play for some reason). I downloaded it and put it on the home page...its perfect! .
ICS only uses 3 buttons as the standard, this has been known for a long time.
Just use the integrated Google search bar. I believe it's on the 2nd homescreen. Press the microphone and say what you want to search for, send a text, whatever.
I don't care about a search capacitive button. I know it only has 3 buttons smh. I just want my long press. Its all about hands free texting etc in the car. I dont want to have to switch pages and then find the search button on that page while driving. Guess i'll wait till a Sense 4.0 rom gets it right. Love the fun but this was a step backward for a VERY handy feature. Maybe they are planning to roll out Sense Speak or something soon.
The app I mentioned is a shortcut to Google Voice Search, I put it on the bottom bar (whatever that's called), so it's on every page...you can see it here
I was under the impression a long press on the multi-tasking button would launch Google Voice Search? Is this not the case? In any case, yeah, give it a week or so and someone will come out with a mod for the capacitive buttons like the One X has.
even better, i want the camera button hard press (not long press, which brings up the camera) to be the voice search button. i know i saw a thread on this, i asked for it in another post.
...Soft press i guess can be just a regular search button, if you are into that freaky ish
Banned
GVS was banned today. Hopefully Google just has an issue with the name.

I never use the search soft button on the 717. Is there any way to reuse it to launch an application or something else?
written in your mud with my stick.
On another galaxy phone there was an app that let you do anything with any button. I made the search button put the phone to sleep.
Don't some of the newer roms allow for it? I swear mine has been the flashlight button ...at least on the lock screen. Unless my decaying brain is just messing with me.

if you hold the button down at least google voice search should launch. Maybe a couple other app options.
Btw, deleting voice_talk_q1.apk from system/app on JB will enable google voice search if you long press search. Rather then the samsung svoice only.
